[EN] FAQ 003234 | How do I activate form-finding of a membrane surface?

Question:
How do I activate form-finding of a membrane surface?

Answer:
Form-finding with prestress can be activated in General Data of the surface by clicking the "Edit Parameters of Stiffness" button.

When activating the RF‑FORM‑FINDING add-on module (in General Data of the model), the "Form-Finding" tab is visible for surfaces with one of the following stiffness types:

1.
Standard
2.
Orthotropic
3.
Membrane
May
Membrane - Orthotropic

Generally, the program automatically activates the form-finding with the standard prestress for surfaces with the stiffness types "Membrane" and "Membrane - Orthotropic".
